The infraorbital nerve and blood vessels pass through this groove and canal, located in the maxilla bone.

The sphenoid bone, located deep within the skull, does not directly contribute to the bony rim of the eye socket.

The nasolacrimal duct, responsible for tear drainage, passes through this opening in the lacrimal bone.

The maxillary nerve, a branch of the trigeminal nerve, is transmitted through this fissure located in the floor of the orbit.

The zygomaticotemporal nerve, carrying sensation to the temple area, passes through this foramen in the zygomatic bone.

The zygomaticofacial nerve, carrying sensation to the cheek area, passes through this foramen in the zygomatic bone.

The optic nerve, carrying visual information, and the ophthalmic artery, supplying blood to the eye, pass through this fissure located at the top of the orbit.

The orbital opening, a large opening in the skull, allows part of the eyeball to protrude.

The infraorbital nerve, a branch of the maxillary nerve, and the associated blood vessels pass through this groove and canal. These structures are essential for sensory innervation and blood supply to the lower eyelid, cheek, and upper lip.

The superior orbital fissure, located at the top of the orbit, serves as a passageway for the optic nerve, carrying visual information from the eye to the brain, and the ophthalmic artery, supplying blood to the eye and surrounding tissues.
